Oregon State University will soon require all new students
to take an online course on “social justice.” According to the College Fix, the full roll-out will
occur at the beginning of the upcoming winter term, starting in January 2017.
University documents state that the new program “is intended to provide all
students entering Oregon State University an orientation to concepts of
diversity, inclusion, and social justice and help empower all OSU students to
contribute to an inclusive university community.”
Tragically,
OSU is not the first university to mandate such a curriculum. University of Massachusetts-Amherst students
are currently required to take two
“social justice” classes before they can
earn a diploma, and there are numerous other examples.
“Social
justice,” a catch-all phrase signifying a far left agenda of environmental
extremism, feminism, gay/transgender rights, socialism, etc., is a burgeoning
enterprise at OSU. Last year the school spent many thousands of dollars on
racially segregated student retreats that examined topics like white privilege,
racism, and oppression, among others.
The
university maintains a large Bias Response Team (BRT), which consists of seven
top-level campus administrators who decide how to respond to reports of
perceived harassment.
Robby
Soave, an associate editor at Reason,
explains: “A student has no method of dissenting during an online training
session on the necessity of complying with the university’s diversity dictates.
Indeed, students might reasonably fear that agreeing with the ideology of the
trainers is a precondition of coming to campus.” He continued: “Students are no
longer merely required to grapple with leftist ideas in the classroom—they
increasingly must live, sweat, and breathe ‘oppression studies.’ It is no
wonder that so many of them have developed a healthy disrespect for the
principles of the First Amendment. They are being trained—not taught, but
trained—to think everything that offends them is a bias incident.”
“You
picked Coke over Pepsi? How offensive to Pepsi lovers!”
“You
rebuffed the brunette’s advances and went home with the blonde? Bias
incident!!”
I
despise bullies, despise them with all my being. No power on Earth should be
able to force one to believe
something. I rebelled against more than one of my college professors for being
utterly intolerant and hypocritical. No one from the left can make me believe
something that simply isn’t so, nor can anyone on the right do likewise. This
state-sponsored oppression and coercion has to stop or the United States is
finished. The state sponsors of oppression know this…that is why they are doing what they are doing.
The OSU
course will aim to teach students that “systemic and local inequities exist and
that we all play a role in creating an OSU community that resists and corrects injustice,” according to the
university’s website. It will also explain “how to identify bias incidents and
learn how to interrupt bias in our daily lives.”
Here is
a liberal’s two-step guide to identifying “bias incidents:”
1)
Is someone using extreme, misleading or
inappropriate language? (Translation: Do they disagree with us?)
2)
Then screw the f-%!ing, right-wing, intolerant,
NAZI-worshipping bastards!
Bias incident!
And here is, in my opinion, the most effective way for college students to
“interrupt bias” in their daily
lives:
1)
Don’t go to class
2)
Ignore the mainstream media
